The FTC has released a new website designed to inform the consumer about Identity theft.  The site has some great bits of information as claims to do the following:

“On this site, consumers can learn how to avoid identity theft – and learn what to do if their identity is stolen.  Businesses can learn how to help their customers deal with identity theft, as well as how to prevent problems in the first place.  Law enforcement can get resources and learn how to help victims of identity theft.”

Lets hope that more consumers will visit the site and take some of the advice to heart.
